INSTRUCTIONAL PHILOSOPHY
Much of the material presented in this course will be delivered through lectures and projects.
Class participation is encouraged, and students should be prepared for class by completing any
assigned reading and bringing appropriate materials to class. Classroom activities will include
computer-based assignments, case studies, research, and group and individual projects. In
addition, students will have assignments to be completed in- and out-of-class. Assessment
methods include tests, quizzes, oral presentations, written reports, worksheets, and projects.
Students will also have the opportunity to compete in regional, state, and national competitions
for SkillsUSA and Tech Prep. These competitions allow students to apply the theories and
concepts learned in class to a real-world environment.
ATTENDANCE
Classroom Entry
Attendance is taken at the start of class. All students should be in their assigned classroom/lab
before the bell sounds. If you are tardy you must report to the High School Office and obtain an
admit slip. More than 5 unexcused absences within a 9 week grading period or 3 in a 6
week grading period may result in loss of credit. Excessive unexcused absences may result
in disciplinary action. Refer to the Student/Parent Handbook for more information.
Classroom Exit
Students are dismissed by the Instructor, not the bell. Students are not to line up at the door, be
in the hall, or leave the classroom or lab prior to dismissal by the teacher.
ASSESSMENT
Performance Standards: Grades for the course will be based on the following levels of performance:
Grade
A
(90-100%)
B
(80-89%)
C
(70-79%)
D
(60-69%)
Description
Work is correct with only minor flaws (not having to do with the main idea of the problem). You
understood the concepts presented in class and were able to apply them appropriately to real-world
examples. You completed all assignments on time, demonstrated a good work ethic, and produced a
high quality of work.
You did quality work with a few flaws. You understood the concepts presented in class, and were
able to apply them with help. You completed almost all assignments on time, and demonstrated
knowledge with sufficient skill.
Had difficulty understanding class concepts or applying concepts to real-world situations. Some
assignments were late or were not turned in.
Did complete some of the work for the class. Work competed was frequently late or of low quality
with error and omissions.
8
F
(<= 59%)
Did not complete a significant amount of work for the class, or if work was done it had major errors
and did not meet standards. Missed 5 or more class periods during the grading period.
It is expected that students complete assignments on time. Assignments will be dropped one
letter grade for each day that they are late. If an assignment is turned in more than four days late,
it will be worth half credit. Tests and quizzes may be formative or summative in nature.
Grades will be determined by a Total Points method. However, approximate weights are as
follows:
Tests and Quizzes
Class work and assignments
Projects
Certifications
20%

EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS
In Career and Technical Education student performance is looked at just as business/industry
would look at an employee on the job. The quality of tasks completed, time required,
participation, attitude and consistency of effort, etc. are considered employability skills and are
all a part of one’s grade.
In addition to the guidelines presented in the Student/Parent Handbook, Internet Programming &
Development students have the opportunity to earn up to 50 points per week for employability
skills.
It is up to the student to earn the grade. Not earning points is based on inappropriate behavior
and teacher observations of behavior and attitude. Behavior and preparedness are an essential
part of a student’s tenure at Auburn.
The following situations will negatively impact one’s employability skills and loss of points.
Each occurrence will result in the loss of points.
-Disrespect displayed towards fellow students and instructor
-Sleeping or appearing to be sleeping
-Swearing or inappropriate language
-Not working on task at hand
-Horseplay or unsafe activity
-Abuse of school property
-Playing games or otherwise misusing computers or calculators while in class
-Absent from class (other than a school function or excused absence)
-Unpleasant, antisocial, negative or belligerent attitude/comments
-Chairs left out or equipment not put away
-Use of electronic equipment (CD players, cell phones)
9
-Unprepared for class, not turning in assignments on time
-Not wearing student ID badge or not having it displayed in a visible location.
-Not dressed in IPD uniform.
-Unexcused absence from class.
Continual violation of the Employability Skills will result in a reduced course grade. Continuous
violation of the Employability Skills will result in additional disciplinary action determined on a
case by case basis.
NOTE:
The above expectations also extend to a student’s behavior throughout Auburn Career Center
and will affect your grade.
*You can positively impact your employability skills score. Bonus points can be earned by going
above and beyond expectations. SEE EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS RUBRIC IN APPENDIX
COURSE ASSIGNMENTS AND PROJECTS
All assignments are to be word processed and are to include your name, class, assignment name,
and assignment date in the upper left hand corner. No hand written assignments will be accepted
unless prior permission has been given.
Absolutely no assignments will be accepted on torn out spiral notebook paper or assignments
done in pencil. Assignments are due at the start of class. Late assignments will only be accepted
with an excused absence.
Students can expect assignments on a regular basis. Projects of significant importance will be
assigned throughout the year.
Late assignments will only be accepted with an excused absence.
PROGRAM APPAREL

Students are required to have and display on themselves at all times an Auburn Career Center ID
badge, which is provided free during the first weeks of school. The Auburn ID Badge must be
10
clearly visible and presented upon request to any teacher, administrator, resource officer, or
school personnel. If a student’s original badge is lost or stolen, a duplicate ID badge must be
purchased. The fee for a duplicate ID badge is $5.00.
COURSE POLICES
This course covers a large amount of material; therefore, late assignments may not be
accepted. An exception to this is if the student provides an excused absence that is verified by
the High School office. Refer to the Student/Parent Handbook for more information.
This program is a program that builds upon skills. Missing class time will jeopardize a student’s
ability to complete the various assignments and projects accurately and on time.
Class participation and employability skills are an extremely important part of this program.
Grades are based in part on the following:
SAFE WORK PRACTICES
1. Make safety the first consideration in every situation.
2. When picking up a load, evaluate whether or not you need help or special equipment. Do not
lift a load alone if you have any doubt of your ability to lift it. Use proper lifting techniques to
prevent injury.
3. Keep your work area clean and free of loose objects, stumbling (includes office equipment
wires) or slipping hazards, rubbish, etc.
4. Be aware of walking surfaces and their condition. Extra care may be required to prevent an
accident.
5. Do not reach too high for something that may fall on you. Use a small set of steps, a ladder, or
ask for help if you need it. If a ladder is used, be sure it is well secured.
6. Never leave an unsafe condition unguarded or unmarked, even temporarily.
7. Learn location of school safety equipment and know how to use them.
In case of an emergency:
Contact the main office by using the telephone in the Instructors office.
Pick up the phone and dial “0” for the Main Office.
Remain calm, explain the situation.
11
If there is no immediate answer send someone to the nearest classroom or office and notify
an adult of the incident and request additional help by calling 911.
If the victim is conscious, it is best to have them lie still until qualified emergency response
personnel arrive on the scene. Do not move a victim unless there is risk of additional
immediate danger to them and you. You can cause additional severe injury by unnecessarily
moving a victim.
There is the possibility of the victim going into a state of physiological shock -- a condition of
insufficient blood circulation different from electrical shock -- and so they should be kept as
warm and as comfortable as possible.
MOBILE TECHNOLOGY POLICY
Cell Phones, MP3 Players and other mobile devices are included in the definition of personal
mobile technology. It is expected that students will realize that mobile technology devices have
their time and place and will utilize them appropriately, as stated in this handbook while in the
Internet Programming & Development classroom/lab. Students will abide by any policies stated
within the Auburn Student Handbook and Technology Agreement while at Auburn Career
Center.
ADDITIONAL COURSE POLICIES
1. Code of Conduct: The published Code of Conduct for Auburn Career Center found in the
Student/Parent Handbook will be enforced at all times. Refer to the Handbook for
discussion of due process of the Code and safety violations. Academic dishonesty will
not be tolerated. Infractions will be dealt with according to established Auburn Career
Center policy.
2. The attendance/tardiness policy provided in the handbook will be followed at all times. It
is the responsibility of the student to make arrangements to make up any missed activity
the day he/she returns to class. There are certain assignments that cannot be made up.
3. Computer usage: Auburn Career Center supports instruction through the use of
computers, e-mail, software, and other media, and Internet access. The use of the tools is
a privilege, not a right. Any student who violates the Acceptable Use Policy found in the
Student/Parent Handbook may lose their access to Auburn’s computers and network
accounts. Notice to students who have access to digital audio and video recording
equipment. Abuses of this equipment will not be tolerated.
In addition, students are expected to use computers and other media equipment at the
designated time, and only for class assignments. Abuses may result in a loss of
technology privileges.
Auburn e-mail accounts are monitored, and the use of them falls under ACC policies.
12
4. Auburn Career Center is a full-service career center. Many people pass through the
facility during the day. Therefore it is important that students wear their student
identification badges when in the building. Students who do not display an identification
badge will be referred to the Main Office. Failure to wear an ID may result in loss of
Employability Skills points and be referred for discipline.
5. Changes to the Syllabus/Handbook: The Instructor/ACC Administration reserve the right
to make changes to this syllabus/handbook as needed throughout the year.
13
